Could Poland learn a thing from Sweden about having better relations with its neighbours?
Sweden and Denmark have fought 30~ wars between ourselves, we used to be a nightmare for all of Europe 300/400 years ago, Nowadays though we have great relations with the whole Nordics and probably Europe as a whole.
I can’t be the only one who can see the reason for that being that we swedes of course learn about our once “mighty empire” but we also get taught about the “horrors” we did, Estonians used to call our occupation “the good times” but I can assure you that no Estonian today would like to go back to that. We don’t even mention ourselves in our national anthem.
When I scrolled few the history thread a few days ago, in a post about Ukraine and polish history (not surprisingly since everything nowadays seems to be about that) I saw a Pole fighting a Slovak about Pilsudski and another comment in there which I assume was a pole because he called Vilnius polish and justified taking it from Lithuania.
Does the polish education system not mention the “bad parts” about expanding its own borders by force?
